Not a good night for the kitchen - Edit
Went on a Sunday evening and wanted a bit of a hangover cure. Came away still feeling hungover and not at all satisfied. Burger bun was burnt, as was the bacon. Chips weren't crunchy or salted properly. Mac & cheese was weird, bland and just unpleasant. Crispy mushrooms weren't cooked all the way through. It's a real shame as I go here every now and again, so I don't want to be harsh as it's some sort of pillar of the Edinburgh vegan community. I did express a bit of this to a server (felt bad doing it...) and she gave us a discount. Really nice gesture, but surely the kitchen must have been having an off night or something because it was a 4/10 at best. Oh well!

Extremely reliable with a few great standouts - Edit
Important to note that the menu is entirely vegan until specified otherwise, ie - everything is vegan unless you ask them to add dairy cheese. Really lovely staff that are super helpful and really back their food. We got a whole mix of things but the biggest standouts were of all the food containing “bacon”. We were dining with a couple of omni’s who swore that it was exactly the same as eating a really high quality piece of bacon. Both the texture and taste were uncanny in the most delicious way possible. Definitely a must if you miss your bacon, but if you find this sort of vegan meat confronting I’d definitely grab yourself something else off what is considered to be a pretty extensive menu.

Expensive and poor service - Edit
Came here as a group of 9. We had pre booked. The menu isn’t that big and is mostly burgers but everything is vegan although you can add dairy cheese. I had the bacon royale burger and it was nice but I think the prices were too expensive as it wasn’t that big. Also we had to wait for cutlery - one member didn’t have a burger so was sitting about waiting for them to bring cutlery so she could eat. The service was very slow and they add a large service charge on top, which in hindsight we should not have paid.
Read moreOverall, the food is good but it is expensive for smaller portions. The place is quite dark as well Inside.
Pros: Lots of vegan options
Cons: Poor service

Fantastically Tasty - Edit
Didn’t really read the reviews here before heading there, and when we got there we weren’t sure on how the food would be.
Read moreWe were delighted we stopped by. On the whole, it’s vegan junk food, but everything we had was really tasty and great portion sizes - especially for the price.
The corn ribs were my personal favourite, but the royale burger, buffalo cauliflower wings and battered oyster mushroom were all great too. Give it a go!

Nice spot - Edit
I've heard so many great things about Paradise Palms, and I was not disappointed. The food and staff were nice. The interior was fancy and the place felt hip and lavish. If I were to compare it to the Dog house, this place would be if the Dog House got gentrified. The menu was by default vegan, i.e., you could ask for dairy cheese on your burger if you wanted that, so I would've love to see this place fully vegan as this would not be a huge step for them.

Great soul food. - Edit
Plenty of options post COViD but disappointing to see the onion rings have gone.
Read moreI would say that they seem to now be buying in burgers rather than making their own which unfortunately does let it down slightly. If you love soul food you won’t be disappointed
Looks like the home made Saipan is back. Good stuff.
Tried to get food last night and had a pretty poor service experience. Left without a drink or any sign of a food order after 15 minutes. I will be back.

Amazing food - Edit
I can really recommend this place. I am giving 4 stars because I am not big fan of the interior and that it is quite noisy inside. But this is my personal feeling. My gf liked the vibe. Food on the other side was great! I had Mac and cheese and it was very tasty! Waiters were super polite and explained everything.

Buffalo wings that will make your taste buds dance! - Edit
It's been some years since I had buffalo wings, I always enjoyed the spicy, savory and foremost tangy taste, once in Stockholm at "Dirty vegan", a restaurant that is not longer there I had "buffalo wings", and they were amazing! I have been looking for them ever since and this is where my search ended! Super duper satisfying and tasty! Will definitely come back for them!
Read moreAlso I had the Philly cheesesteak dirty fries that was superb but the wings got my flying!

We loved this quirky bar with its ceiling of teddy bears! We were seated before our reservation which was amazing of them.

I was in food heaven here. Friendly staff in a chilled out atmosphere. With an extensive vegan menu I was spoilt for choice. I opted for the philly cheesesteak fries, tortilla chips woth chipotle sauce and battered oyster mushrooms. Very comforting and delicious.

A feel-good place! - Edit
The Lucky Pig-Paradise Palms is a restaurant where everyone is welcome and it truly feels like that. It is very relaxed and the staff are down to earth and welcoming.
Read moreThe food they offer is rather American and this style of cuisine is not my favourite, but I still liked it very much, which shows how awesome it really is!
My husband and I shared the Philly Cheesesteak Fries, the collard greens, the corn ribs and the frickles between us, and we enjoyed everything.
